The Tara slip-on is attractive and has a bit of a heel. It works well for casual wear, which is what I wanted. I have very wide feet and do best with a high toe box. I was hoping that since
Aravon is owned by
New Balance that it might be made on the SL-2 last (narrow heel, high instep, wide forefoot, deep toe box), which is perfect for my foot in a 9W. It is not. So, I bought a 9.5WW, which fits pretty well. The toe box is not as high as I would like and it is a little wide in the heel, but overall it works.
